White House releases personal information of voters worried about their personal information

The White House on Thursday made public a trove of emails it received
from voters offering comment on its Election Integrity Commission. The
commission drew widespread criticism when it emerged into public view
by asking for personal information, including addresses, partial social
security numbers and party affiliation, on every voter in the country...

Unfortunately for these voters and others who wrote in, the Trump
administration did not redact any of their personal information from the
emails before releasing them to the public. In some cases, the emails
contain not only names, but email addresses, home addresses, phone
numbers and places of employment of people worried about such
information being made available to the public.
